CC Capture has new capabilities designed to extend and replace the functionality of CATZper Software. To understand the transition the following table compares these two solutions.

Please note that CATZper was discontinued in June 2022 and Capture has replaced it.

Integration with Color Inspector

New tools are built-into Color Inspector. There are a couple of benefits of such a solution. 

• Color Specification Custimasation
  The user can create any Color Specification by selecting measurement conditions, observer, and illuminant. That covers the expectation not only defined by the graphic industry but also color manufacturing - automotive, paints, textile, plastic, virtually any area.
  
  
• Color Constancy Analysis - based on12 Standard Illuminants plus two custom Illuminants. A single spectral color sample can be evaluated virtually at any Lighting Condition. Custom Light can be easily captured with CC Capture, CC Display, or by manual upload. Learn more here. 
  
  
  
• Metamerism Evaluation
  
  Understanding challenges coming from the metamerism issue is critical in most situations where different types of objects (made of different kinds of materials, pigments, colorants) have to match at various lighting conditions. 
  
  
• Fluorescence Evaluation - some objects can contain OBAs (papers, textiles, plastics, paints...) - it might be critical to be able to manage phenomena of fluorescence. In some situations, Substrate Inspector might be a perfect supplemental tool.
  
  
• Soft Proofing — CC Display is capable of evaluating of all samples from Color Library.
  
  
• At Lighting — Lighting Inspector applied on entire Color Library
  
  
• CxF data exchange, including a version with advanced stacked tolerances for X-Rite eXact 
  
  
• Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ASE) export – exports color Libraries to Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator.

Limitation: Charts can be generated in PDF file format only.

SpotVar is working in various color spaces (CMYK, nCLR, RGB, Lab), therefore JPG, TIFF, and PNG formats are not supported anymore. The user may easily convert these PDFs using Photoshop to any other file format, but it requires a high level of understanding of color management (especially rendering intents).
